EAST LOCATION

TAYLOR M.

East Director

I have been the Director of this location since 2015. I have been working with children in a daycare setting since 2011 but I have been working with children outside of daycares since I was a teenager. I have a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I recently completed the final year of the Buffalo County Community Partners Rooted in Relationships Pyramid Program, where we focus on supporting social-emotional development in early-childhood. I am also a council member for the Village of Hazard. I enjoy camping, hiking, gardening, and spending time with my husband and our children!

Infant Teacher Since: 2018

I love teaching because I enjoy being able to help infants achieve their milestones, as well as seeing them grow physically and mentally. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter brings me so much joy and it makes me enjoy doing everything I do.

I love teaching because I love watching the kids learn and figure out new things. The bonds we make spending everyday together are very special to me.

ANASTASIA M.

Infant Teacher Since: 2018

I love teaching because I get the opportunity to watch the kids learn and grow. There’s no better feeling than watching the kids form their own personalities, each one different from the next.

Toddler Teacher Since: 2019

I love teaching because there is no better sight than a child smiling while they are learning. I also love all of the hugs and loves they give.

AMY T.

Preschool Teacher Since: 2002

I love teaching because of the “lightbulb” moment when a child figures out something. The excitement they feel, and show is just as much for them as it is for me!

RACHEL U.

I love teaching because it’s never the same every day. I love to be able to teach and influence the next generation. Watching kids grow and learn never gets old.

I love teaching because I love the smiles and laughter. The look on the children’s faces when they figure something out… Priceless! The unconditional love from the children warms my heart.
